Offer Civil Service Work To Students
The United States Civil Service commission has just announced two examinations of interest to college juniors and seniors. They are the annual "junior professional assistant" and "student aid" examinations designed by the government to recruit college graduates, juniors, and seniors for government positions.
Optional branches included in the junior professional assistant examination this year are agricultural economist, agronomist, aquatic biologist, archivist, bacteriologist, biologist, chemist, entomologist, forester, geologist, junior in household equipment, olericulturist pomologist, public welfare assistant, range conservationist, soil scientist, State department assistant, and statistician. These positions are all in the junior grade with a salary of $2000 a year.
Need 4-Year Course
Requirements for the junior professional assistant positions are a four-year college course leading to a bachelors degree with major graduate or undergraduate study in the field of the optional study. Senior and graduate students will be admitted to the examination and upon attaining eligibility will receive professional appointment. They cannot enter on duty until evidence of successful completion of their required college course is furnished the civil service commission. Applicants must not have passed their thirty-fifth birthday.
Four optional subjects in the Student Aid examination include engineering, political science, public administration, and statistics. To be eligible for examination in these fields students must have completed at least three years of accredited college study, and must have indicated at their college or university the intention of majoring in the optional subject chosen.
Student Aid positions pay $1,440 a year with employment usually coming during the school vacation period. Appointees will be fur- louloged to return to their college studies in the fall. Applicants for student aid positions must not have passed their thirtieth birthday.
RYTHER NAMED---pledge to join the military air forces in time of war. An average of more than 50 Civilian Pilot Training graduates were enlisting each week before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The rate of enlistments for army or navy service soared after the attack.
(continued from page one) home may be turned over to the Salvation Army, which reaps a small well-earned return, or may be left with the janitor in any University building.
3. We must conserve heat and light. Do not leave lights burning in any office or classroom when unoccupied.
4. Each weekend turn off radiators in office rooms which are not occupied over Saturday and Sunday.
5. When offices or classrooms are too warm, turn off radiators instead of opening windows.
6. Check storerooms and other seldom used spaces to see if radiators can be partly or entirely turned off. I found one such storeroom in my own building.
7. All junk metals — copper, zinc, brass, aluminum, iron — can be disposed of at much better prices than heretofore. Laboratories in particular should check all discarded equipment stored in various buildings to see if it has any value other than junk. Valuable storage space might be released.
8. Used rags can be sold, if they are not oil-soaked. Tin candles are worth 25 cents per hundred weight when mashed flat, at the junk yard.
9. Heavy manila envelopes in which you receive magazines or other publications can be used again and again for campus mailings. If you do not have use for all such envelopes you receive, turn them over to the business office.
10. Any paper which is blank on one side can be cut to scratch-pad size and padded at nominal cost for desk use.
11. Be on the alert to eliminate fire hazards or other sources of accidents. A building damaged or lost by fire at this time probably could not be replaced. Check all possible fire hazards in your building at once. If in doubt, call the situation to the attention of Hallie Harris, janitor foreman.

(continued from page one) the annual edition will be 30 cents. Dave Watermulder, president of the Council, said last night. The Council voted to prohibit advertising on the calendar as a means of revenue.
At the beginning of the meeting, Verlyn Norris, college junior, was sworn into Council membership by Watermullet. Norris fills the P.S.G.L. vacancy caused when Bob Woodward transferred to the University of Wisconsin several weeks ago.

40,000 Pilots Ready
Lieut. George Schwartz Welch, of Wilmington, Del., who had CPT training at Purdue University in 1940, was one of army air corps pilots awarded the Distinguished Service Cross for heroism in action during the surprise Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor Dec. 7.
Another 10,000 CAA-trained aviators are aiding the war effort by serving as instructors in military flying schools of this nation and the British empire, as aviation weather forecasters, photographers, map makers or mechanics. Others have become co-pilots on airlines, thus releasing army and navy reserve offers for active duty.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 14 (U.P.)—More than 10,000 youths piloting U. S. warplanes received their initial flying instruction in the Civil Aeronautics Administration's training program, and CAA officials are proud that one of its trainees was among the first American heroes of World War II.
Upon American entry into war, the CAA was ready with a pool of nearly 40,000 young men who had received private pilot's licenses after completing the government's elementary course and who had not yet joined the air corps or other military forces.

Few CAA Pilots Rejected
*Less than a week after the first Japanese plane dropped bombs on American soil, a teacher and 26 students—all of whom had been taking a CPT course at Northwest Missouri State Teachers College, at Maryville—drove to Kansas City in a bus to enlist in the army air corps.

'Design for Scandal'
The CAA started its program to create a reserve of civilian pilots in 1938, and now is graduating trainees from the elementary course at the rate of 24,000 a year.
The CPT elementary training does not enable the army or navy to reduce the amount of instruction for its student pilots, but the civilian program weeds out many unqualified youths, upon whom the military otherwise might waste time and money.
"The CPT elementary course is a pre-selector for the military services." Robert H. Hinckley, assistant secretary of Commerce for Air
said "We wash them out in adv-ance."
Hinckley said the rate of elimination during the primary instruction in the air corps is seven per cent for CPT trainees, as compared with 45 per cent for others.
GARDNER LIKES O.U.----
(continued from page five)
sive shoots drills before Oklahoma comes to Manhattan Saturday night for a return match.
In spite of the loss, Gardner said his club played its best game of the season at Norman. The squad has shown steady improvement since the season opened. Sophomores, six of whom are on the travelling squad, are gaining seasoning and should be of more and more help.
Danny Howe, senior center who was handicapped by injuries on Kansas State's trip into the Northwest, appeared to have found himself against Oklahoma as he captured many rebounds and dunked in 12 points to lead the Wildcat scoring. Marlo Dirks, a six-foot-three sophomore pivot man, also has shown marked progress.
Saturday's game will be Kansas State's first in conference competition on the home floor.
